Healthy Grilling Tips and Ideas

Summer is the time for grilling, but it's also time to watch your waistline. Use these healthy grilling ideas to keep your cookouts lean and delicious!

Learn Your Cuts

The leanest poultry is the skinless white breast of a chicken or turkey; ground beef can be as lean as 96%. Two lean cuts of pork are tenderloin and loin chops. What's available might vary slightly from butcher to butcher.

Grill Drills

Grilling is among the most low-fat ways to cook meat because fat drips away during cooking. Be careful, though, as these drips might cause flare-ups that can burn your food and create unnecessary wear and tear on your grill.

Chop bell peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Before grilling, soak these veggies in water for 30 minutes to keep them juicy. Then, pat them dry. Spray with PAM Original to prevent them from sticking. In no time, you'll have healthy sides and delicious toppings for your burgers.
